Higher Learning - Patti Smith

Little child lost

Little boy, little girl

Little child lost in the earth

The seed drags you down

Down deep into the earth

Down deep

Each time, each time we give

Each time

We add a word

We add a breath

We cast a note

We slide a bead

Upon the necklace of all human knowledge

In the world

Let it come down

Let it come down

Oh my, mother, father, sister, brother, children

Let it come down

In the heart, coming down

The earth, underground, they’re waiting
